KANSAS--5mike5

5mike5 · 10-03-13, 12:24 PM

yeah, but still dont understand why they just dont call it practice

shaunovery · 10-03-13, 12:30 PM

Thought it was strange having a testing session

5mike5 · 10-03-13, 12:42 PM

they gave it to them because Goodyear is bringing a brand new tire compound for the cup cars

Vegas39 · 10-03-13, 12:45 PM

Supposedly 4 teams tested tires their in July they did test so all teams on fair ground

Optional · 10-03-13, 12:49 PM

extra practice should at least mean we can rely on most cars being setup well I guess.

5mike5 · 10-03-13, 01:02 PM

racing temps in the 50-60s on sunday has the making of a long green flag drawn out fuel mileage race here...id almost bet on that

they will have tons of grip and wont be slick at all...not good for racing

Vegas39 · 10-03-13, 01:07 PM

Cooler temp = faster speeds = blown engines

5mike5 · 10-03-13, 04:26 PM

Some teams not even using same car that tested today for the race in Sunday btw

Yep. Kenseth was planning on using the same car but just said - after a somewhat disappointing practice - they may change to a different one.

I only saw two teams - Hamlin and Ambrose - bring out different cars after the practice was over. Pretty much everyone else, including Kenseth, were changing engines for practice tomorrow.

5mike5 · 10-03-13, 05:35 PM

some teams planned on using different cars all along, those might be 2 of them i dont know

was be suprised any1 would change just becuase of a lack luster practice

Vegas39 · 10-03-13, 06:10 PM

I'd change if I was a rise too. Danica was faster than him

Optional · 10-04-13, 03:18 AM

I hate it when it isnt on tv

5mike5 · 10-04-13, 07:44 AM

I'm ready to get this racing weekend started tomorrow

firedawg · 10-04-13, 08:00 AM

shaunovery · 10-04-13, 08:52 AM

Yes lets get the race weekend started

5mike5 · 10-04-13, 10:15 AM

paul menard the the cup version of Brian Scott

Vegas39 · 10-04-13, 10:34 AM

It's guys like Menard, Scott and Montoya that when leading late I wish someone would offer live betting

yes guess good and bad to this idea.

Optional · 10-04-13, 11:00 AM

In race live betting would be heaven over a 4 hour race.

Betfair offers it but not a soul bets it live.

5mike5 · 10-04-13, 11:12 AM

This truex thing is getting awful late with no answers yet. If that team doesn't find some sponsors he better be smart and jump to that 78 car

Vegas39 · 10-04-13, 11:15 AM

My thinking too mike . I think he is reason 78 team hasn't made announcement on a driver

shaunovery · 10-04-13, 11:29 AM

Bet365 used to do live in play betting

They still do for indy and f1

Optional · 10-04-13, 11:57 AM

Did you ever play it Shauno?

Wouldnt be the same for F1, not enough passing and lead changes.

shaunovery · 10-04-13, 12:07 PM

Used to prices didnt change much till half way unless 48 was near the front

Remember 1 race he was about 4/7 in1 race at hslf way needless to say he didnt win it .

5mike5 · 10-04-13, 12:42 PM

Honestly after thinking about it doubt I would even use live betting

I calll bullshit

5mike5 · 10-04-13, 01:05 PM

In serious. If I bet the same way I do now b4 the race, its going to kill ur profits in the long run. I would have to have restraint and just say no. Mostly

Vegas39 · 10-04-13, 01:09 PM

Using last week as example if books lay jr as fave with those 4 tires I'm tempted to bet the 48

5mike5 · 10-04-13, 02:26 PM

Yeah but still would be terrible low odds i have to guess. Plus all the money bet pre-race I just don't think it would be worth it. But who knows guess it depends on what u bet b4 the race

5mike5 · 10-04-13, 02:32 PM

I mean the way I bet there's just no way to make anything if live betting was available if u have alot of $ riding pre-race. But u can lose ur fukkin ass trying to break even or win. Better to just take a loss. Damn books would make a killing off of it.

They probably don't have the knowledge on how to calculate the odds. I almost guarantee that part. And since we know they read this thread, I'm still for hire for the 2014 season tony
